Force a user as admin in Terminal

Is there a way in Terminal to force a user as admin.
The reason why I ask this is becourse I can't find the solution to my problem, where my uses should have Admin rights, but still I can not acces some items in the System Preferences. Some items are gayed out:
And as you can see here I should have Admin rights:

Forcefully delete user's "Deleted Items" from Exchange 2010 Management shell ?

After migration from Exchange 2003 to 2010 my organization's some user can't delete items from their deleted items folder, it generate a error message so how can I forcefully delete user's deleted items from their "Deleted Items folder" from
Exchange 2010 Management shell ? Thanks
Babu

Hi Babu ,
Based on my knowledge i have given some suggestions please have a look in to it.
1.We cannot use the search-mailbox command specifically for any folder in the mailbox.But we can use it for a whole mailbox.Below is the command which will copy the entire contents of the mailbox to the target folder called as "backup" .
Search-Mailbox -Identity "problematic mailbox name" -TargetMailbox "test mailbox" -TargetFolder "backup" -LogLevel Full -deletecontent
Note : Before executing the above command , please execute the below.
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Import Export_Enterprise Support" -SecurityGroup "Enterprise Support" -Role "Mailbox Import Export"
Once the above command is executed then you need to add your admin account to the security group "Enterprise Support" and then use the Search-Mailbox command to copy the entire items to the target mailbox and also it will delete all the copied
items from the original mailbox.
2.Another one option is to use the MFCMAPI tool to force delete the items on the deleted items folder.
Most importantly before doing all the above , please share me the error message what your users are facing while deleting the items from deleted items folder.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Gaining root/making standard user an admin without using CD or Single user mode?

Hi.
I just installed (upgraded to) Snow Leopard on my 2009 macbook pro from CD. WHen I pooked around in my fresh install, I noticed that I was no longer an admin user, instead a standard user.
I retsrtaed from the Snow Leopard install CD and went to reset password utility... and here's the stupid part. I also added a firmware password. Don't ask me why I thought this was a good idea at the time. It clearly wasn't.
So now I'm back in that fresh new snow leopard install, where my resetting of the standard users password only gave the standard user a password, but did not elevate that user to admin, and no way of starting from the CD again.
There's a root user, I do not know what the password is. The standard user can not sudo. I'm not afraid to work in terminal. Without keboard access to this, I can not make it a target computer via firewire either.
I'd really rather not have to go to the apple store again for this, I've been there twice recently changing batteries and hard drives, and I had to get my snow leopard CD elsewhere as they didn't have any.

SOLVED IT!
So, I'm leaving this here in case anyone else scatterbrains themselves into the same situation.
Restart computer, while holding OPTION key down.
A lock screen will come up asking for the firmware password. After you have entered this, you can select to start from the OS dvd.
Once started from the DVD you can remove the firmware password (if you want) and even better, you can reset the passwords of other user with the password reset utility.
Make sure to add a passwird to the ROOT account.
Restart as normal. Then in settinggs, find your user, and passwording in root to change these settings, make that user an admin.
Ta-da, done.

How is possible change an administrator user to standar via terminal?

Thank you Mr Hoffman!
i have found this command:

it's working, what do you think about it?

Flash Player Administration - upgrade users without admin privileges

Is this possible? How have you answered this painfully obvious problem in your enterprise?
We have a remote Sales Force which do not connect to our domain. I looked through the Admin Guide - I do not want to disable the auto-update. I want to make the auto-update work for users without admin privileges.

Currently, the user does need to be an admin account for an update to occur. However, the good news is that this will change in 11.2. Once 11.2 is installed on Windows (using an admin account), there won't need to be further user interaction for future updates. Users on limited accounts will be updated silently, without admin interaction.

Trust ALL root Certifications in Windows not working for non-Admins on Terminal Server

I have been trying to setup a verification process that will allow us to us Active Directory Certifications to verify signatures. I have finally found the setting to use the Windows Store after not getting Adobe to query our Certificate Authority. It works great on our local desktop where users have Admin access, but when users do it on our Terminal Server it does not allow it. I thought the issue was access to a configuration file in the Adobe directory, but I found the setting in the Registry set correctly. But does not work correctly. One additional note is I had noticed that after I enabled it on a Non-Admin, is Adobe would say it crashed after I shut it down.
My question is what type of privilege do you need, or maybe Adobe need to access the Windows Cert Store from a Terminal Server with a non-Admin because it is not validating after confirming the Setting is enabled.
Thanks,

hello, since version 26 firefox is able to auto-update on windows even for non-admin users (when the mozilla maintenance service is getting installed in the original configuration): http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/releasenotes/#whatsnew
those would be the auto-updates provided by mozilla directly - so i'm not sure if this is something that would fit in your environment. installing the .exe file of a new version (available at [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/]) on top of an older version will also update the program.

Want to configure a GPO "Stop (domain) users [having admin rights] from installing software"

Want to configure a GPO "Stop (domain) users [having admin rights for some particular users] from installing/uninstalling software"
Requirements :-
1. Domain user should not be allowed to install/uninstall any software's. Rest all the actions can be performed by the user like an administrator can do.
Please suggest if possible then how can I implement the same.

Hi Amar Chand,
You can do so by using certain Group Policy settings to control the behavior of the Windows Installer, prevent certain programs from running or restrict via the Registry Editor. The Windows Installer, msiexec.exe, previously known as Microsoft Installer,
is an engine for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software on modern Microsoft Windows systems.
You can try the following method to resolve this issue:
Method 1: Disable or restrict the use of Windows Installer via Group Policy
Open “GPMC”, create a GPO linked to the correct scope. You can refer to this article
Create a new Group Policy object.
Right-click it, click Edit, and then navigate to
Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Components/Windows Installer.
In RHS pane double-click on Disable windows installer.
Click Enable and configure the option as required. "Always "option indicates that Windows Installer is disabled.
This setting affects Windows Installer only. It does not prevent users from using other methods to install and upgrade programs.
Click Apply to save this configuration.
Run gpupdate /force on the clients.
For your information, please refer to the following article to get more help:
Managing options for computers through Group Policy
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_wininstall_group_policy_computers.mspx?mfr=true
Method 2: Restrict Programs from being installed via Registry Editor
Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
Create String value with any name, like 1 and set its value to the program’s EXE file.
e.g., If you want to restrict msiexec, then create a String value
1 and set its value to msiexec.exe. If you want to restrict more programs, then simply create more String values with names 2, 3 and so on and set their values to the program’s exe.
Note: You may have to restart your computer.
In addition, if you choose this method, you could deploy the registry configuration via GPO. Please refer to the following article:
Configure a Registry Item

Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and ensure you have updated with your profile with a real handle instead of "866673".
You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should usually include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB version and edition
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
<li>Browser(s)/version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Templates
<li>Region type
(although for your question only the APEX version is necessary).
Assuming you mean a user who can authenticate to an application that uses Application Express Account Credentials?
In APEX 4.0:
1. Go to Home > Application Builder > [Your Application ] > Administration > Create Users and Groups > Create User
2. Enter the User Identification information.
3. In the Account Privileges, specify:
User is a workspace administrator: No
User is a developer: No
4. Complete the rest of the form as necessary.

How to force the user to enter a value in the prompt

Is there a way to force the user to enter a value in the prompt before they run the report?
We have a customer specific dashbaord. The user has to enter a customer number in Dashbaord prompt on a first page of the dashboard. We store that value in a presentation variable. That presenatation variable value is being referenced in all the other pages of the dashabord. If the user does not enter a values in the first page and directly navigates to the other pages on the dashbaord, the reports on the other pages start to run for all the customers. Is there a way to force the customer to enter a value in the prompt before running any of the reports on the dashboard?
Thanks!

by Answer prompts, do you mean Column prompt?
I can not use Column prompt in this senario as the user should not have to enter the same customer number over and over again when he navigates from one page to another on the same dashboards. If there is a way to default the column prompts then this would be an acceptable solution.
I have already defaulted the prompt to a value as suggested in hte blog, but the issues occurs when the user erases the defaulted value. Is there are way to set the default value within the report?
Can you please explaing mroe about option 3 regarding Java Script. Also please let me know what other options there are so that I can check whether they will fit my needs.
Thank you very much!

Forcing the user to select one of the OBIEE prompts?

Hi All,
Iam new to OBIEE I have a requirment in which I need to force the user to select one of the selection from prompts in OBIEE eg: you need to select one of the contry either India or America to get the other prompts enable and filter the report?
Any help is highly appriciated.

Hi,
You can set a default value in your first dashboard prompt like 'please select a country' then if the user doesn't select something no result will be returned until he selects a valid value
Then make the other dashboard prompts constrained.

Forcing end user to open the child form in the resource request dataset

Hi,
Is there any way where we can force end user to open the child form of a resource request dataset and enter the values for the attributes in the child form. The child form attribute is mandatory. However, currently, OIM allows user to submit the request without opening the child form and to enter values for child form attributes(which is mandatory).
Thanks.

Child dataset attributes are set to required="true". But it will come into picture only if end user opens the child form. If he forgets to open the child form, still he is able to submit request without entering values to the attibutes(whose required=true) in the child form. OIM is alowing to submit request if he doesn't open the child form.
I hope i was able to put it in corrrect way.
Thanks.

Forcing a user's password to be expired

I am trying to test my customized change password page. I have updated the URL in the LS_CONFIGURATION table. How can I force a user to produce the change password page so I can test my customized change password page?

Also, is there a way to force the user's password to expire upon first successful login and likely force the user to change the pre-assigned password? This is a requirement on the customer's wishlist.
Chris, please let us all know if you get an anwer to your question. I can't be the only person who'd be interested.
